Hasn't the pretty much the majority of the board come to the conclusion that he's NOT an a-hole?

not sure. I won't brush aside past events just because he made it to the finals and had nice words to say about federer in the finals

Sorry not getting your point here. Kind enough to clarify?

It wasn't the final speech that made me like him

it was the post match interview after he beat Nadal..he seemed like a nice guy..

I felt like such a hypocrite for doing what i chastised others for doing on this forum...judging people off of little things.

I agree. I feel like he is/was misunderstood. None of us know the guy personally.

before, Soderling was an a-hole
you mean... because he was keeping disreputable company in that time ? ;)

Yeah but Soderling was never an *******. Nadal always had the buttpicking thing coming, he kind of deserved it and I respect Soderling for having the balls to do that on such a big stage. And now he has beaten Nadal and you think he is mean, but he's just another player trying to make a living. There's no need to be so protective of Nadal, he's a man, he can take care of himself.

It looks very suspect with them 2 walking on that beach together. Maybe the Wimbledon thing was to cover up some hurt feelings??? :)

Nadal looks like he's 13 and Soderling looks like a school bully.

Yep. I guess they were friends at what? Before Soderling became this anti-social Nadal hater.

Nadal's mannerisms do get on many players' nerves. I can't blame him for getting fed up with it in an already extremely tense match.
